Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. <BR/>Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. <BR/>Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise."<BR/>prov.31tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834992953359656385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26403825.post-26026515130906954982007-05-13T07:08:00.000-07:002007-05-13T07:08:00.000-07:00I don’t know how she does it (in so many ways, I s...I don’t know how she does it (in so many ways, I suppose) but Jen empowers your children through grace. She both gives grace and lives grace. The air around the Ries house smells of mercy and grace and much of this comes from Jen. She is the aroma of Christ and I am convinced that this aroma has empowered those kids immeasurably. <BR/>AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26403825.post-60319360629751113702007-05-11T20:18:00.000-07:002007-05-11T20:18:00.000-07:00I've admired Jen's mothering from the very first t...I've admired Jen's mothering from the very first time we ever spent with your family. Kyle and I were expecting our first and were more than a little nervous. That first night we hung out at your house watching Jen gave me so much confidence. She handled the kids with so much grace and patience and humor. She made it look easy and fun and like the greatest thing to do ever. And when y'all came this summer and visited. Again, I was pregnant and apprehensive about having 2 kids instead of one. And watching Jen take care of three, knowing she was headed back to Sidney for a week as a solo parent... she gave me hope that I could make it with 2. It's not a lie that when I've been about to lose my patience with either one of my kids I've conjured up a memory of Jen with one of her kids and tried to do the same. We love you all! Happy Mother's Day Jen!!!Martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975051472269164960noreply@blogger.com
